... I'm obviously aware of the existence of dwarven berserkers, elven dervishes, and the duelists from the Bronze Isles who prefer fighting with two blades instead of one. I even had a pleasure to personally meet one of them. Unfortunately, my memory isn't what it used to be, so I can't recall the name of that noble warrior. An old friend of my late tutor, he left the Bronze Isles just before it cut all ties with the outside world.
After losing his homeland, he decided to make a living by teaching youngsters like me swordsmanship. I was rather fortunate to get a couple lessons from him back in the day. He preferred to teach a bunch of students at the same time, sparring with five or six opponents simultaneously. It goes without saying, he gave us quite a thrashing - it felt as if his blades had a mind of their own, striking at every direction at once.
